🎨💨 Let’s get creative!
Our little artists had so much fun painting with straws! They added colorful paint to paper, then used their breath to blow the paint across the page and create their own unique masterpieces. 🌈🖌️
It was messy, exciting, and full of imagination! We love watching our children explore, experiment, and discover their own ways to be creative. 💕✨
Little hands, big imaginations! 🌟

💪🌟 **Keeping active and having FUN!** 🤸‍♀️💚

This week, we've been all about healthy habits and staying active! Today, our little learners put their gross motor skills to the test with an exciting obstacle course, and they absolutely loved every minute of it! 😆🎉

From jumping and climbing to balancing and crawling, every challenge helped build confidence, coordination, and big smiles! We can't wait for more active adventures together! 🌈✨

🏛️✨ History came to life for our Early Bird campers!
As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, our campers explored the Concord Mercantile Building and Glen "Pop" Warner Museum, discovering fascinating artifacts from the past. 📚☎️ They loved trying a vintage dial phone, exploring the barn museum, and learning how children and families lived over a century ago.
Back at Early Bird, the children captured their favorite memories through drawings and journals—and many are already planning to return as future junior tour guides! 🌟
Thank you, Concord Historical Society, for an incredible day! 💚

🎉 50 Years of Early Bird... and the memories keep growing! 💛
As part of our 50th Anniversary Celebration, our Early Bird Adventure Campers stepped back in time with a wonderful visit to the Concord Mercantile Building and Glen "Pop" Warner Museum. 🕰️📞 From trying a real dial telephone and dancing to a player piano to discovering what farm life was like more than 100 years ago, history truly came to life!
While you're there, be sure to check out our special Early Bird 50th Anniversary Photo Collage, featuring cherished memories from our founding through today. ❤️ We also invite former families, alumni, staff, and friends to share their favorite Early Bird memories by signing the memory book on display.
A heartfelt thank you to the Concord Historical Society for helping us celebrate this incredible milestone and for preserving the rich history of our community.

🌞🛟Celebrating 48 Years of Swim School!😎

Celebrating 48 Years of Early Bird Swim School! 🎉
Since day one, we've believed that the best swimmers aren't made by rushing—they're made through patience, encouragement, and plenty of smiles.
For 48 years, our program has focused on:
💦 Small classes with individual attention
💦 Qualified water safety instructors and lifeguards in every lesson
💦 Heated water for year-round comfort
💦 Confidence-building before technique
💦 Learning through play and positive experiences
Every kick, bubble, float, and first stroke is a milestone worth celebrating. Watching children grow from nervous beginners into confident swimmers has been our greatest privilege.
Thank you for making Early Bird part of your family's story for 48 wonderful years.

🧊🎨 What happens when you put paint on ice?
A little science... a little art... and a whole lot of fun!
Our little learners explored what happens when colourful paint meets icy surfaces, watching the colours glide, blend, and change as the ice slowly melted. It was a wonderful hands-on experience that encouraged curiosity, creativity, and sensory exploration.
Learning through play is full of magical moments like these, where science and art come together in the most colourful way! 💙🌈
